Like most of the people who have watched Clannad: After story say, it's so sad! Though I don't usually cry watching movies, animes, or reading books, this was the one and only anime that made me cry. Many of the scenes made me want to cry and it especially gets sad once the main character, Tomoya Okazaki cries. This is definitely an anime worth watching and though it may sound like a really girly anime, it is still really good! I know tons of guys that enjoyed this anime, so it's not exactly just for girls!
Story:
The plot was one of the things that for me obsessed with Clannad: After Story! Just reading the synopsis made me sad! I loved the plot because it included many real life events that can actually happen to anybody! All the problems Okazaki encounters and helps solve were sad and heart felting! The creators of Clannad did a great job with this one and were very creative with ideas!
Art:
I loved the animations I saw in clannad. It was very bright and happy during the happy moments and was perfect during the sad moments. The animation of Tomoya and Ushio's crying face was so sad and though it is such a little detail, it was one if my favorite things about Clannad: After Story. The art in Clannad:After Story was one of the big contributors that made this anime great!
Sound:
The OSTs in Clannad: Afted Story were absolutely amazing! After finishing this anime I searched up and listened to all of the OSTs because I loved them so much. A lot of the times, the sad music in the background was a big part of what made me cry while watching this anime. I thought the characters has voices that fit them perfectly and I loves that the voice of Nagisa and Tomoya also played Fairy Tail's Juvia and Gray. This is because both these pair play a love theme in their anime (just and extra fact). All the music,SFX, and voices were amazing.
Character:
Though I loved the characters of Clannad, I have to give this one a 9 out of 10. This is because some of the characters that have "main roles," don't really have main roles. I was disappointed that certain characters did not contribute to the plot as much as I thought they would've. Like Tomoyo, for example. She was one of the first characters you meet, but she doesn't show up as often as you see Kyou or Kotomi do. Despite that little flaw, I loved all the characters because they were all so different and helped with the anime in different ways. Many characters helped solve problems, while others goofed off and brightens the mood!
Enjoyment:
I really enjoyed this anime because (like I said before), it was really sad and was one of the only animes that made me cry. Despite the sadness, there were also a lot of moments that made me really happy and sometimes very excited. Each episode made me want to watch the next. The combination of the amazing characters, sound, plot, and art really brought together an amazing anime that is worth watching!
